When the sun goes down, their passion awakens…and so do their nightmares.
Centuries ago, a man with Bryn Llewelyn’s dreamwalking ability would have been a shaman or a priest. In this time, he’s merely exhausted, strung out on too much caffeine and too little sleep.Sleep means descent into Somnus—an alternate reality constructed of the combined dreaming consciousness of ordinary humans. A place he’d rather avoid. Trouble is, his powers don’t include the ability to go without sleep indefinitely. At some point his eyes close…and his nightmare begins.As a teen, the treatment that cured Laszlo Grimm’s sleep disorder stole his dreams—and his ability to feel emotion. Petrified of needing more “treatment”, he clings to familiar rituals and habits. But lately his nightly terror has returned, and when he meets Bryn in the real world, the man seems hauntingly familiar. Not only that, Bryn awakens feelings in Laszlo for the first time in years…Slowly Bryn and Laszlo realize they are both unknowing pawns in a plan of unspeakable evil. And that their powerful attraction could release the destinies locked within them—or be the instrument of their doom.

3.0 The Dream Alchemist
The world building is great. The story drags at times though. And I would have liked more relationship building. This was a lot of insta-lust followed by love. Very little nonsexual interaction.

3.5 The Dream Alchemist
An interesting and imaginative read, although I had a few issues.The story: It's our world, but there are those who exist who can "dreamwalk" or when they sleep, they enter the dreamworld of Somnus, lucid and having powers, while drone-like zombies mill around (that's us when we're sleeping.) The fi...

5.0 I was a little sceptic in the beginning, but the author pulled through!
This was a great read and I am looking forward to the next installment. I didn't dig the world-building and the whole dream-scape thing so much and this is why I was a bit sceptic at first. I didn't start to love the dreamy thing, exactly as I expected. But what happened was a very nice romance....
